Rhys wasn’t quite sure how to react to that. “I can’t imagine going back to financial reports. Had Vaughn hit his head one too many times during the fall?īut as Vaughn laughed and shook his hands in the air, Rhys decided that the fumes of this god awful planet were definitely getting to his friend. Rhys was about to agree with him, when a smile began to spread on Vaughn’s face. “The list just keeps getting longer,” Vaughn said. He couldn’t quite find the words for his hatred of this vile planet. Vaughn gestured to the carcass of the Rakk Hive. “Rakks, skags, bandits, dehydration, heat stroke, regular stroke, stroke stroke,” Vaughn continued, which reminded Rhys of how thirsty he was. He wished, not for the first time, that he was back up there, safe and sound, having never involved himself in this mess. Rhys stared up at Helios, so intimidating in the distance. “I hadn’t even thought about moonshots,” Vaughn continued. At some point, Vaughn had gotten up and perched himself on the vanity that must’ve fallen out of the caravan. Rhys looked up at the sound of Vaughn’s voice. “The list of things that might kill us keeps getting longer…” He really wished he hadn’t lost his shoe. Everything ahced, but apparently he’d encountered his first Pandoran miracle, because nothing felt broken. Rhys laid for a while before slowly pressing a hand to his head. Would they come back for Rhys and Vaughn? He couldn’t hear the sound of the caravan anymore. The air was dry, and he desperately wanted a drink. Rhys watched him until he saw Vaughn’s chest rise and fall, and then closed his eyes again. Was Vaughn still alive? Rhys cracked his eyes open, seeing his friend also lying still nearby. He laid there, eyes closed, too terrified to move and discover the damage of his fall. He bumped and tumbled along until he finally rolled to a stop. Then he yelled, because he didn’t want to die. Then he thought about how badly this hurt. Rhys vaguely wondered if his Hyperion insurance was still good. It would be lucky to survive this, and a miracle to survive it with nothing broken or permanently damaged. He could hear Vaughn crying out near him as they both crashed along the ground with the force of their momentum. Pain rocked through him, and he was positive he’d never stop rolling. It would be hard to traverse Pandora with only one shoe. Dazed as time seemed to slow, he wondered if Fiona would let it go so Rhys could retrieve it. Rhys was going to die, and all he could think about was how expensive his shoes had been.Īs he soared through the air, Vaughn so close he could nearly reach him, Rhys could feel the loss of his shoe.
